Barowcll has withdrawn from the raoe for congress and Col William Elliott will probably have no uppon tion io the Demooratio primary The deoisioo to withdraw was reached aftor a ooofereooe last night and it was aooooooed today. The withdrawal ooaasiooed looe surprise bat it was not altogether unloosed for. The Barn well supporters deolsred their intention to otptore the eouoty oooveotioo sod their fsiloro to do so, showed their weakoess and forced Maj Bun well to the conclusion that he oould not secure s majority soffioieot in Charleston to overoeme the majority that Col. Elliott was ezpeoted to get io tho ooontry and bring to Charleston ; hence the with? drawal. M?j Barnwell has many friends sod his dignified and manly campaign, although it was brief, has served to sttrsot many people to him. His withdrawal is of ooorao regretted by lorne of bis friends Col Elliott's supporters sre correspondingly elated. The withdrawal of Maj. Birnweil does away with the eleotion to fill bis uoexpirod term and the raoe between T. W. Baoot and Edward W.

My form was wrapped in the slumber Wbicb steals from tbe beart its cares, For my very life was weary With its barren waste of years ; But my soul, with rapid pinions, Fled f*8t to tbe light which beams From a phantom sun (tod planets For tbe dreamer ia hie dreams. I stood io a wondrous woodland, Where tbe sunlight nestled sweet In tbe cups of eoowy lilies \ Wbicb bloomed about my feet ; And while the Gothic forest arches Stirred gently with the air, Tbe lilies underneath tbem Swung their censorf, pale in prayer. I stood amazed and wondering, And a grand Memnonian strain Came sweeping through tbe forest, And died ; then rose again. It GweUed io solemn measure, Till my soul, with comfort olessed, Sank down among tbe: lilies With folded wings to rest. Then to that mystic music, Through tbe forest's twilight aisle, Passed a host with mi:filed footsteps, In martial rank and file ; And I knew those grey-clad figures, Thus slowly passing by, Were tbe sojla of Southern soldiers Who for freedom dared to die. In front rode Sidney Johnston, With a brow no longer wrung By the vile and senseless slanders Of a prurient, rabble tongue; And ntar bim mighty Jackson, With a placid front, rs one Whose warfare was accomplished, Whose crown of glory won. There Hill, too, pure aod noble, Passed iu that spirit train, For be joined the martyred army From tbe Sojth'e last battle plain. Then next io order followed Tbe warrior-priest, great Polk, With joy to meet bis Master, For be bad nobly borne His joke. There Staart, tbe bold, tbe dariog, With matchless Pelham rode ; With earnest, cbasteoed faces, Tbey were looking op to Ood. Aod Jenkios, glorious Jenkins, With bis patient, fearless eyes, And tbe brave, devoted Garnstt, Journeyed oo to Paradise. Before a shadowy squadron Rode Morgan, keen and strong, And I knew by bis tranquil forehead He'd forgotten every wrong. Aod peerless Pegram marchiog With a dauntless martial tread, I breathed a sigh for tbe hero, The young, tbe early dead. 'Mid spectral Black-horse troopers Passed Asbby's stalwart form, With that proud, defiant bearing Which *o spurned tte battle storm ; Bat his glance was mild and tender, For in that phantom host It dwelt with lingering; fondness On tbe brother be btvd lost. There strode tbe brave Malooy, Kind, genial adjutac t; Aod sen bim walked tbe truthful, Tbe lion-hearted Gaott. ?>????) Theo, to that solemn music, Passed a traid of tbn brave : Hayna, Taylor, Alfred Pieckney? Bach bad found a soldier's grave. Tbey were young and gentle spirits, Bat they quaffed the bitter cap, For tbeir country's fla,g was falling, Aod they fell to lift it up. Ay, there pasted io coantless thousands Io that mighty phantom host, True hearts and noble patriots Whose names on earth are lost. Tnere "(be missing" found tbeir places? Those who vanished from oor gaze Like brilliant, flashing meteors, And were lost io glory's blazs. Yes, tboy pasted, that noble army? Tbey passed to meet tbeir Lord ; And a voice within me whispered : "Tbey but march to tbeir reward." [Tbe above poem was written in 1866 by Rev. P. D.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED ?Y Johnston's Sarsaparilla QUART BCTT ~S. *'DANGER IN THE EARTH AND A IK; DANGER EVEBYU HEBE.'* A Wine and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science. In a leading- hotel, in a great city, a famous and ajred physician was convers? ing1. Listening- to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers. My firm belief, is 11 that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis? eases without exception are caused by invisible gorins which are living organ? isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh." "I wish, Doctor,'' said the traveling man, "that you would tell us about catarrh. I have had it for years, and I am thoroughly discouraged.? The Doctor answered. "Catarrh, like diphtheria* consumption, typhoid fever, and a host of other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting disease is especially prevalent in the United Mates and it is rare to meet one who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. How often is he or she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome b*>th to himself and his friends. M I believe," continued this great physician, "that the true way to heal ca? tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives which act as blood purifiers." Itetsy A. Marett, of Manistee. ManisteeCo., Mich., writes: Dear Sirs:?For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and short of breath. I could hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My hands and feet were always cold. My appetite was very poor. Ou getting up in the morning, my head swam so I was often obliged to lie down again. I had awful pains in the small of my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness. My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn't go half a dozen steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have a pain in my side. It seemed as though the blood had left my veins. The doc? tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get? ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief. My husband got me a bottle of Johnston's Sarsapariila. I took it. and then I bought another. When these had been used. I was somewhat improved in health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re? freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I kept on taking it, and now consider myself a well and rugged woman. I work all the time, and am happy, lam positive that the Sarsaparilia saved my life. The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca? tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for wh .t Johnston's Sarsaparilla has done for me. I recommend all women who have sick head? aches to use your Sarsaparilla. MIC2II<vA.W DllUGr COMPA3VY, DETROIT, MICK. J. S.
